brand image would become seriously tarnished. Tesla is respected because it is considered a leader in the EV market and that means it has to maintain its position as the leader no matter what.

wallet" paradigm, there are multiple ways that this can manifest. Whether it be brand image, brand presence, product safety or other issues, competition can create a lot of back and forth between differing firms. Even if GSK does very well for itself, the pharmaceutical landscape is indeed rather crowded and GSK surely knows that there are plenty of those firms that will gladly attempt to fill any voids, perceived or otherwise, created by GSK and their actions or inactions.

The company no longer communicates one way with the customer. With social media, the customer also communicates with the company, and with other customers.
